    Abstract: Various embodiments provide a bi-angle pliable tape for use in forming a composite laminate structure. The bi-angle pliable tape comprises: a longitudinal axis extending in a unidirectional machine direction; a first ply comprising fibers extending in a first orientation, the first orientation being offset relative to the longitudinal axis at a first angle of less than 30°; and a second ply comprising fibers extending in a second orientation, the second orientation being opposite the first orientation relative to the unidirectional machine direction. The first ply and the second ply are further secured substantially adjacently relative to one another by one or more yarns so as to provide a non-crimped configuration such that the bi-angle tape defines a pliable structure. Corresponding composite laminate structures and methods for making the same are provided.
